Ten
Unique Bridesmaid Gift Ideas
- by KissMeGoodnight.com
It is customary to honor your bridesmaids
for their participation in your wedding with a gift of appreciation.
Traditional gifts include a piece of jewelry such as earrings
or a necklace that complements their bridesmaids dress and
can be worn on the wedding day but many bridesmaids will truly
appreciate a more unique gift idea. With careful consideration
you may be able to give your bridesmaids gifts that show your
appreciation for their assistance and also demonstrate that
you understand their personality as well.
One unique gift ideas for your bridesmaids is an
evening bag to be used as an accessory on the wedding day. This gift can
be a lovely gesture and will serve the purpose of keeping the
accessories of the bridesmaids uniform and will free your bridesmaid
from the burden of searching for an evening bag that matches
the dress. In this case you may choose to give the bridesmaids
their gifts early in the wedding planning so that they don’t
purchase a bag specifically for the occasion of your wedding.
A
photo album complete with a picture of you and the bridesmaid
or the entire wedding party can be another unique gift idea
for the bridesmaids. You could purchase photo albums with the
date of your wedding engraved on the front cover and start
the photo album with a picture of you and the bridesmaid. This
is a wonderful gift idea because the bridesmaid can place her
photos from the wedding day in the album and will always have
a precious souvenir from your wedding day.
Gift
certificates to a spa or a salon also make unique gift
ideas for your bridesmaids. Your bridesmaids most likely spent
a great deal of time and energy in helping you to plan your
wedding. The week prior to your wedding was also probably especially
hectic with a great deal of last minute details to attend to
and errands to run. While you will have your honeymoon to relax
and renew your energy your bridesmaids do not have this luxury
so by honoring them by presenting them with a gift certificate
to a spa or salon you are giving them the gift or being pampered
and the gift of relaxation.
A few more unique gift ideas for your bridesmaids’ gifts include
handcrafted or homemade gifts. For example you could put together
a CD of some of your bridesmaids’ favorite songs. You could
make the CDs different for each bridesmaid and include a photo
of the two of you on the cover and include a heartfelt poem
on the inside of the CD cover. You could also create a scrapbook
for each of your bridesmaids. You could either make the scrapbook
a memory of your entire friendship together and include photos
and other items from your various adventures throughout the
years or if you plan ahead and take many photos documenting
your wedding preparations, you could create scrapbooks as a
remembrance of the wedding planning that you shared.
Personalized
cosmetics bags can also be used as unique bridesmaids
gifts. You could purchase attractive cosmetic bags and have
them embroidered with your bridesmaids’ initials and the date
of your wedding. Another nice touch with this gift is to include
a few items such as lipstick or nail polish that complement
each of your bridesmaids’ style and complexion.
Another unique gift idea for a bride to give
to her bridesmaids is a gift certificate to a local restaurant. Assisting in your
wedding preparations was probably extremely stressful and time
consuming for the bridesmaids and they certainly deserve a
night on the town and the opportunity to not have to cook for
a night. This simple gift lets your bridesmaids know that you
appreciate their efforts and that you want to thank them for
all that they have done to support you.
Unique
gift ideas for the bridesmaids can also stem from the wedding
theme. For example if you are having a beach themed
wedding you might want to give your bridesmaids a gift of a
tote bag, a beach towel and a novel to enjoy on the beach.
This unique gift idea ensures that your bridesmaids will remember
your wedding fondly the next time they are at the beach.
Traditional bridesmaid’s gifts such as jewelry and jewelry
boxes are always welcomed but if you have a large group of
friends and most of them will be bridesmaids several more times
as more of your friends get married it might be nice to give
your bridesmaids a gift that is unique. Unique gift ideas convey
your message of appreciation but also let the bridesmaids know
that you put a great deal of effort into choosing their gift.
